There's a vital excitement needed for the latest and main chapter of Mayfair lore that's gravely missing here, despite it having some style that includes the pervasive presence of dark teal and more sumptuous New Orleans production design from Rice's developing TV universe.

This also means that 'Mayfair Witches' has a whole lot of backstory-there's even a look at the Mayfair women in the 1600s, and it only nudges the overall story along so much.

In keeping with the lineage of witch stories across film, TV, and books, 'Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches' depicts generations of women and their experiences that echo across lifetimes, going up against types of entitled, gross, manipulative men who are a fact of patriarchal societies. Instead of the Vampire Lestat, this new series from creators Esta Spalding and Michelle Ashford is about the women of the wealthy and mysterious witches in the Mayfair family, the subject of three books by Rice. To give Anne Rice fans a bit of an early entry into this beautifully sordid world of witches, demons, and every freakish thing in between here's a Mayfair Witches Cast and Character Guide.Just a few months after releasing their TV version of ' Interview with the Vampire,' AMC continues its investment in the Anne Rice business with a new show, focused on a new supernatural lineage. Since AMC is behind both projects, it'll be no surprise if Mayfair Witches offers the same darkly fantastical experience. It's been a dream of Rice's for viewers to experience the widened, overlapping worlds of both series, and it's happening with such beautiful production, as we can see from Interview with the Vampire and the way both the New Orleans streets and the characters glow with golden seduction. The book series shares a crossover of characters with The Vampire Chronicles (the series that inspired Interview with the Vampire). Premiering January 8, 2023, Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches developed from the literary trilogy Lives of the Mayfair Witches. After the success of AMC's adaptation of Anne Rice's 1994 film Interview with the Vampire into a TV series, the gothic novelist is further expanding her dark urban fantasy world on the same streaming platform with her new show, Mayfair Witches.
